This guide was created as a resource to help families better understand "Measures of Academic Progress"® (MAP®), and their child's results. The guide provides answers to a variety of questions such as: "What is MAP?"; "What does MAP measure?"; "How do schools and teachers use MAP scores?"; "Can MAP tell me if my child is working at grade level?"; and more. The guide also includes a "Quick Reference" sample report to help parents understand the Student Progress Report. The Student Progress Report will contain the child's NWEA MAP test results and provide information to show how the child is doing compared to other students in the same grade, in the child's school district, and across the United States
